TECHNICAL FIELD

This description relates generally to attachment plates and implants for penile construction.

BACKGROUND

In some examples, penile prostheses for erectile dysfunction have been used off-label in penile construction or reconstruction cases such as female to male transgender, and natal males with penile reconstruction (e.g., congenital disorders, amputation (penile cancer), trauma, etc.). For example, a patient undergoes a phalloplasty procedure (e.g., single stage or multiple stages) in which a neophallus is surgically constructed from tissue grafts taken from other parts of the body. The phalloplasty procedure may be considered highly invasive with relatively high infection risks, and a patient may be open on the operating table for an extended period of time (e.g., 8+ hours). Since the neophallus is made of skin and does not contain the erectile tissues of a biological penis, the neophallus does not have the capability to achieve an erection.

A penile prosthesis may be implanted after the phalloplasty procedure. In some examples, the penile prosthesis may be a transgender specific device or a penile prosthesis used for erectile dysfunction in natal males. However, there may be difficulties associated with how the penile prosthesis is attached to the pelvic bone. In natal males, the proximal ends of the corpora cavernosa tunnel deep into the pelvic bone, and, in some examples, they provide the cavity in which the two cylinders of the penile prosthesis are disposed, as well as a way to prevent migration or crossover of the cylinders. In the natal males undergoing penile reconstruction due to amputation, the proximal corpora cavernosa may still be intact and may serve to anchor the proximal ends of the penile prosthesis dual cylinders. However, in transgender, natal males with birth defects, and/or severe trauma cases, these features of the proximal corpora cavernosa may not be present in the same manner, and there may be difficulties with anchoring these devices to the pelvic bone.

SUMMARY

An implantable device for penile construction can comprise an anchor plate and at least one attachment member. The anchor plate can be configured to engage with a first portion of a pelvic bone of a patient. The anchor plate can comprise a prosthesis attachment interface configured to be coupled to a penile prosthesis, and at least one attachment member configured to attach to the anchor plate. The at least one attachment member can be configured to engage with a second portion of the pelvic bone of the patient. The engagement of the anchor plate with the first portion of the pelvic bone and the engagement of the attachment member with the second portion of the pelvic bone can couple the pelvic bone between the anchor plate and the at least one attachment member.

An implantable device for penile construction can comprise an anchor plate and at least one clamp. The anchor plate can be configured to engage with a first portion of a pelvic bone of a patient.

The at least one clamp can be rotatably attached to the anchor plate. The at least one clamp can be configured to engage with a second portion of the pelvic bone of the patient. The engagement of the anchor plate with the first portion of the pelvic bone and the engagement of the at least one clamp with the second portion of the pelvic bone can friction-fit the pelvic bone between the anchor plate and the at least one clamp.

An implantable device for penile construction can comprise an anchor plate and at least one strap. The anchor plate can be configured to engage with a first portion of a pelvic bone of a patient. The anchor plate can comprise a prosthesis attachment interface configured to be coupled to a penile prosthesis. The prosthesis attachment interface can comprise an elastic material. The at least one strap can be attached to the anchor plate. The at least one strap can be configured to engage with a second portion of the pelvic bone of the patient. The engagement of the anchor plate with the first portion of the pelvic bone and the engagement of the at least one strap with the second portion of the pelvic bone can friction-fit the pelvic bone between the anchor plate and the at least one strap.

FIG. 1 illustrates an implantable device 100 for penile construction according to an aspect. The implantable device 100 may be used for female to male (FTM) or natal males undergoing penile construction (or reconstruction). The implantable device 100 includes an anchor plate 102 configured to be coupled to a pelvic bone of a patient. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 is permanently coupled to the pelvic bone. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 is temporarily coupled to the pelvic bone. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 is coupled to the pelvic bone using one or more attachment members such as clamps, straps, or mesh. Attachment members such as clamps, straps, or mesh can allow for later revisions without damaging the pelvic bone.

In some examples, the anchor plate 102 is configured to engage with a first portion of the pelvic bone. In some examples, the implantable device 100 can include at least one attachment member 114. In some examples, the at least one attachment member 114 is configured to attach to the anchor plate 102. In some examples, the at least one attachment member 112 is rotatably attached to the anchor plate 102. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 is attached, fastened, coupled, and/or secured to the pelvic bone using the at least one attachment member 114. The at least one attachment member 114 can be configured to engage with a second portion of the pelvic bone of the patient. The engagement of the anchor plate 102 with the first portion of the pelvic bone and the engagement of the at least one attachment member 114 with the second portion of the pelvic bone can couple and/or friction-fit the pelvic bone between the anchor plate 102 and the at least one attachment member 114. The attachment member 114 can include, for example, at least one clamp, at least one strap, and/or at least one mesh. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 includes tissue ingrowth materials (e.g., hydroxyapatite) to allow bone to grow into the anchor plate 102 for attachment of the anchor plate 102.

The anchor plate 102 may be attached bilaterally or unilaterally to the pelvic bone. The anchor plate 102 may encompass a wide variety of shapes to accommodate patient pelvic anatomy and penile prosthesis attachment. The anchor plate 102 may include unique “male” and “female” versions to account for differences in pelvic anatomy and desired take-off angle and positioning of the penile prosthesis from the pelvis.

In some examples, the anchor plate 102 may include materials that are both stiff and flexible. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 defines one or more flexible areas. Each flexible area may include a material that is more flexible than the material(s) between (or surrounding) a respective flexible area. In some examples, a flexible area can be defined at a center region of the anchor plate 102, where the flexible area may operate as an elastomeric flex point. In some examples, a flexible area is defined on one or more sides of an attachment interface 104. The prosthetic attachment interface 104 can include an elastic material, defining the flexible area, to attach to the anchor plate 102 and to the penile prosthesis and/or elongated member 106. The flexible area(s) may allow for flexing at the pubic symphysis.

In some examples, the area surrounding the attachment interface 104 (e.g., where the anchor plate 102 interfaces with the elongate member 106) can include a softer material (than other areas of the anchor plate 102) in order to dampen the transfer of forces between the anchor plate 102 and the elongated member 106 during use. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 can include one or more securement interfaces for securing the one or more attachment members to the anchor plate 102. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 includes reinforcement fibers that may be used in specific areas of the anchor plate 102. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 includes a textile or other porous substrate that may be used as the flexible material or to promote tissue ingrowth in specific areas. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 may include a coated or dipped elastomeric polymer to control the tissue ingrowth in certain areas and allow for expansion of the anchor plate 102. In some examples, the anchor plate 102 includes cadaveric bone, animal biologic tissues, and materials known for tissue ingrowth properties, which may be used to help fuse the anchor plate 102 to the patient such as porous, hydroxyapatite-type of material for bone/tissue ingrowth.

The anchor plate 102 can include the prosthesis attachment interface 104 configured to be coupled to an elongated member 106 of a penile prosthesis. In some examples, the prosthesis attachment interface 104 can be configured to be attached to a penile prosthesis. The penile prosthesis can have features of the elongated member 106. In some examples, the elongated member 106 is configured to be inserted into a neophallus, e.g., a newly constructed shaft of skin in the shape of a penis, where the neophallus is formed from tissue donated from a body part (e.g., thigh, forearm) of the patient. In some examples, the penile prosthesis is a neophallus implant. In some examples, the penile prosthesis is a penile prosthesis originally designed for erectile dysfunction. In some examples, the penile prosthesis is an adjustable member configured to increase in length over time to assist with the creation of a neophallus. In some examples, the penile prosthesis is a penile sheath that defines one or more lumens (or a solid core), where the penile sheath is configured to accommodate the neourethra within the neophallus. In some examples, the penile prosthesis is a hydraulic penile prosthesis in which the elongated member 106 is an inflation member (e.g., a single cylinder) that receives fluid from a fluid reservoir via a pump assembly. In some examples, the penile prosthesis is a malleable penile prosthesis in which the elongated member 106 is malleable.

The elongated member 106 includes a proximal end portion 108 and a distal end portion 110. In some examples, the proximal end portion 108 is a rear tip of a penile implant. The proximal end portion 108 defines an attachment interface 112 that is configured to interact with the attachment interface 104 of the anchor plate 102 (after the anchor plate 102 is attached to the pelvic bone) in order to couple the elongated member 106 to the anchor plate 102. In some examples, the coupling of the attachment interface 104 with the attachment interface 112 may allow for orbital movement of the elongated member 106. In some examples, the attachment interface 104 of the anchor plate 102 is coupled to the attachment interface 112 of the elongated member 106 using a snap-fit (e.g., the proximal end portion 108 is snap-fitted into the anchor plate 102). In some examples, the attachment interface 104 is coupled to the attachment interface 112 using a friction fit. In some examples, the attachment interface 104 and the attachment interface 112 may define a ball and socket connection, a tongue and groove connection, or mortise and tenon mating connection.

FIG. 2A illustrates a pelvic bone 216 and an implantable device 200 for penile construction in an open position according to an aspect. The implantable device 200 can include any combination of features described above with reference to the implantable device 100.

The implantable device 200 can include an anchor plate 202. The anchor plate 202 can include any combination of features described above with reference to the anchor plate 102. The anchor plate 202 can engage with a first portion of the pelvic bone 216, such as a front portion of a pubic symphysis 217 of the pelvic bone 216.

In some examples, the implantable device 200 includes two clamps 218A, 218B. The two clamps 218A, 218B are examples of the at least one attachment member 114 described above. The two clamps 218A, 218B can be attached to the anchor plate 202 at first end portions 238A, 238B of the clamps 218A, 218B. Second end portions 240A, 240B of the clamps 218A, 218B can be configured to engage the pelvic bone 216.

The two clamps 218A, 218B can be rotatably attached to the anchor plate 202. The rotatable attachment of the clamps 218A, 218B to the anchor plate 202 can enable the clamps 218A, 218B to extend around a portion of the pelvic bone 216, such as around the pubic symphysis 217. One or both of the clamps 218A, 218B can extend through a pelvic inlet defined by the pelvic bone 216.

In some examples, the implantable device 200 can include a tightening mechanism 220. The tightening mechanism 220 can reduce distances between the anchor plate 202 and the second end portions 240A, 240B of the clamps 218A, 218B. In some examples, the tightening mechanism 220 can include a rotating cam. The practitioner can tighten the clamps 218A, 218B by applying a disposable tool, or by hand, to the tightening mechanism. In some examples, the tightening mechanism 220 can include a rotating ratchet with at least one release button, and/or the tightening mechanism 220 can include at least one release button, to adjust the tension of the clamps 218A, 218B.

FIG. 2B illustrates the pelvic bone 216 and the implantable device 200 for penile construction in an open position according to an aspect. In this example, a practitioner has engaged the tightening mechanism 220 to reduce the distance between the second end portions 240A, 240B (not shown in FIG. 2B) of the clamps 218A, 218B and the anchor plate 202. The reduction of the distance between the second end portions 240A, 240B and the anchor plate 202 causes the end portions 240A, 240B to engage second and third portions of the pubic symphysis 217 and/or pelvic bone 216 opposite from the first portion of the pubic symphysis 217 and/or pelvic bone 216 that is engaged by the anchor plate 202. The engagement of the first portion of the pubic symphysis 217 and/or pelvic bone 216 by the anchor plate 202 and the engagement of the second and third portions of the pubic symphysis 217 and/or pelvic bone 216 by the clamps 218A, 218B secures the implantable device 200 to the pubic symphysis 217 and/or pelvic bone 216.

FIG. 3A illustrates the pelvic bone 216 and an implantable device 300 for penile construction in an open position according to an aspect. The implantable device 300 can include any combination of features of the implantable devices 100, 200 described above.

In this example, the implantable device 300 can include two clamps 318A, 318B rotatably attached to an anchor plate 302. The anchor plate 302 and clamps 318A, 318B can include any combination of features described above with respect to the anchor plate 102, 202 and clamps 218A, 218B and/or attachment member 114. In this example, the clamps 318A, 318B extend around the pubic symphysis 217 and through obdurator foramen 221A, 221B defined by ischia 223A, 223B.

The implantable device 300 can include a tightening mechanism 320. The tightening mechanism 320 can include any combination of features described above with reference to the tightening mechanism 220. The tightening mechanism 320 can reduce a distance between end portions of the clamps 318A, 318B and the anchor plate 302.

FIG. 3B illustrates the pelvic bone 216 and the implantable device 300 for penile construction in a closed position according to an aspect. In this example, the tightening mechanism 320 has reduced the distance between end portions of the clamps 318A, 318B and the anchor plate 302. The reduction of the distance between end portions of the clamps 318A, 318B and the anchor plate 302 causes the anchor plate 302 to engage a first portion of the pelvic bone 216 and the clamps 318A, 318B to engage second and third portions of the pelvic bone 216, securing the implantable device 300 to the pelvic bone 216.

FIG. 4 illustrates an attachment member 414 for securing, to a pelvic bone, an anchor plate of an implantable device for penile construction. The attachment member 414 can be an example of the attachment member 114 described above with respect to FIG. 1 . In some examples, the attachment member 414 can include a toggle-style clasp. The toggle-style clasp can enable the practitioner to secure the anchor plate (not shown in FIG. 4 ) to the pelvic bone 216, while also allowing for easy disassembly and/or detachment of the implantable device in the case of a revision surgery.

In some examples, the attachment member 414 can include a clamp attachment interface 422. The clamp attachment interface 422 can be shaped and/or configured to engage the anchor plate. In some examples, the clamp attachment interface 422 can comprise an anchor plate itself, and can attach directly to the pelvic bone 216 (not shown in FIG. 4 )

In some examples, the attachment member 414 can include two clamps 418A, 418B. The clamps 418A, 418B can include any combination of features of the clamps 218A, 218B, 318A, 318B and/or attachment member(s) 114 described above. The clamps 418A, 418B can be rotatably attached to the clamp attachment interface 422. Each of the clamps 418A, 418B can include a hook 424A, 424B. The hook 424A, 424B can be disposed at an end portion 439A, 439B of the respective clamp 418A, 418B. The hooks 424A, 424B can loop toward the clamp attachment interface 422. The looping of the hooks 424A, 424B toward the clamp attachment interface 422 can enable the hooks 424A, 424B, when the clamp attachment interface 422 is engaged with the anchor plate and the anchor plate is engaged with the pelvic bone 216, to engage the pelvic bone 216, securing the implantable device to the pelvic bone 216.

FIG. 5 illustrates a leaf spring 529 for securing, to a pelvic bone 216, an anchor plate of an implantable device for penile construction. The leaf spring 529 can be an example of the attachment member 114 described above with respect to FIG. 1 . The leaf spring 529 can include two clamps 518A, 518B and a nut 526 for tightening the clamps 518A, 518B toward each other. The clamps 518A, 518B can include any combination of features of the clamps 218A, 218B, 318A, 318B, 418A, 418B described above. The nut 526 can be an example of a tightening mechanism.

The clamps 518A, 518B can define clamp threads 530A, 530B. The clamp threads 530A, 530B can include alternating grooves and ridges. The clamp threads 530A, 530B in each of the clamps 518A, 518B can form a partial spiral pattern. When the clamps 518A, 518B are placed against each other, the clamp threads 530A, 530B of both of the clamps 518A, 518B can form a full spiral pattern.

The nut 526 can define nut threads 528 on an interior portion of the nut 526 that defines an aperture. The nut threads 528 can include alternating grooves and ridges in a spiral pattern. The spiral pattern of the nut threads 528 can match the spiral pattern formed by the clamp threads 530A, 530B when the clamps 518A, 518B are placed against each other.

When the clamps 518A, 518B are placed against each other, the nut 526 can be placed onto end portions 538A, 538B of the clamps 518A, 518B. The nut threads 528 can engage the clamp threads 530A, 530B. A practitioner can rotate the nut 526 to move the nut 526 away from the first end portions 538A, 538B toward second end portions 540A, 540B of the clamps 518A, 518B.

A width of a portion of the clamps 518A, 518B that defines the clamp threads 530A, 530B can increase as a function of a distance from a first end portion 538A, 538B of the clamps 518A, 518B. The rotation of the nut 526 to move the nut 526 away from the first end portions 538A, 538B and/or toward second end portions 540A, 540B of the clamps 518A, 518B can force the clamps 518A, 518B toward each other and/or tighten the clamps 518A, 518B.

Each of the clamps 518A, 518B can include one or more clamp hooks 524A, 524AA, 524B, 524BB. The clamp hooks 524A, 524AA, 524B, 524BB can extend from the second end portions 540A, 540B, opposite from the first end portions 538A, 538B onto which the nut 526 was placed. The tightening of the clamps 518A, 518B by rotating the nut 526 can create a compression force on the clamp hooks 524A, 524AA, 524B, 524BB toward the pelvic bone 216, securing the implantable device onto the pelvic bone 216.

FIG. 6 illustrates a tightening mechanism, including a set screw 636, for securing, to a pelvic bone 216, an anchor plate of an implantable device for penile construction. In this example, a clamp 618 can define a clamp aperture 632. The clamp aperture 632 can define clamp aperture threads 634. The clamp aperture threads 634 can define alternating grooves and ridges in a spiral pattern. The clamp aperture 632 can be disposed near a first end portion 638 of the clamp 618. The clamp 618 can include any combination of features of the clamps 218A, 218B, 318A, 318B, 418A, 418B, 518A, 518B and/or attachment member(s) 114 described above.

A set screw 636 can extend through the clamp aperture 632. The set screw 636 can engage the clamp aperture threads 634 and press against the pelvic bone 216. Rotation of the set screw 636 can cause an end portion 637 of the set screw 636 to extend and/or move away from the first end portion 638 of the clamp 618. The movement of the end portion 637 of the set screw 636 away from the end portion 638 of the clamp 618, while the end portion of the set screw 636 is engaged with the pelvic bone 216, can cause the first end portion 638 of the clamp 618 to move away from the pelvic bone 216 and/or away from a second end portion 640 of the clamp 618. The movement of the first end portion 638 of the clamp 618 away from the second end portion 640 of the clamp 618 can cause a compression force on the second end portion 640 onto the pelvic bone 216 and/or a compression force on the end portion 637 of the set screw 636 onto the pelvic bone 216, securing the clamp 618 to the pelvic bone 216.

FIG. 7 illustrates a mechanism for attaching a penile prosthesis 706 of an implantable device to an anchor plate of the implantable device. The penile prosthesis 706 can include any combination of the penile prosthesis and/or elongated member 106 described above.

In some examples, the penile prosthesis 706 can define a threaded aperture 744. The threaded aperture 744 can define alternating grooves and ridges in a spiral pattern.

The threaded aperture 744 of the penile prosthesis 706 can receive a threaded fastener 742. The threaded fastener 742 can define alternating grooves and ridges in a spiral pattern matching the threaded aperture 744 of the penile prosthesis 706. The threaded fastener 742 can be attached to the anchor plate, such as via the prosthesis attachment interface 104 in the example shown in FIG. 1 . The reception of the threaded fastener 742 by the threaded aperture 744 can secure the penile prosthesis 706 to the anchor plate.

FIG. 8 illustrates a mechanism for attaching a penile prosthesis 806 of an implantable device to an anchor plate 802 of an implantable device. The penile prosthesis 806 can have any combination of features of the penile prosthesis 706 and/or elongated member 106 described above. The anchor plate 802 can have any combination of features of the anchor plate 102, 202, 302 described above.

In some examples, a prosthesis base 845 can extend laterally from a prosthesis proximal end portion 808 of the penile prosthesis 806. The prosthesis base 845 can define one or more, or multiple, such as four, prosthesis attachment apertures 846A, 846B, 846C, 846D. The anchor plate 802 can also define one or more, or multiple, such as four, prosthesis anchor apertures. The prosthesis anchor apertures can be components of the prosthesis attachment interface 104 described above with respect to FIG. 1 .
